Chapter 189: Chapter 192: Digging a Hole and Burying Oneself
“Ye Qianming, that’s my name.”
He raised his hand and took a sip from the cup of wine.
Seeing your devoted affection, I allow you to know my name! I grant you the privilege to sit and drink at the same table as me!
For some reason, Ye Qianming found inexplicable comfort in Luo Qingtong’s delight over knowing his true identity.
So, this woman is quite fond of him.
Was her previous reluctance to approach him because she was wary of his Netherworld Venerable status?
If that’s the case, he could forgive her past disrespect!
After all, as the Netherworld Venerable, his status is revered, and it’s only natural for her to worry and fear getting close to him.
Fearful that if he knew, he might dislike her or even harm her?
Realizing that Luo Qingtong’s past escapes might have been for this reason, Ye Qianming felt much of his anger dissipate in an instant.
The previous intention to capture her as soon as he found her also underwent some change.
“Oh! Brother Ye!”
Luo Qingtong’s heart surged with joy.
Ye Qianming, concealing his identity, turned out to be much more approachable than she had expected!
She even managed to find out his name! Wouldn’t healing his wounds be just around the corner?
Her heart stirred with eagerness, she followed up cunningly, “My name is Evil Glare, Brother Ye can call me Little Tong.”
“Hmph.” Ye Qianming huffed lightly upon hearing this.
This woman is truly cunning; what Evil Glare, isn’t it just a nickname for Evil Doctor Ghost Eyes!
He has allowed her to come close, even revealed to her his name, yet she dares to deceive him with a fake name.
Thoughts of slight anger crossed Ye Qianming’s mind as his eyes narrowed coldly at her: “Evil Glare? Evil Doctor Ghost Eyes? Quite a peculiar name you have!”
Does she really think that he is unaware of her true identity?
“Cough cough… Brother Ye knows me?”
Luo Qingtong pretended as if she knew nothing at all—not knowing that the man is Netherworld Venerable, nor being aware that he knew her!
She intentionally reported the name Evil Glare; how else to seamlessly reveal her identity as the Evil Doctor and attend to his wounds?
After all, the persona she had been showing him was that of someone who does not recognize the man!
She absolutely cannot let him see through her act!
“Hmph!” Ye Qianming snorted coldly.
This woman, truly cunning!
She’s acting as if it’s all real!
If he didn’t know she was the very woman from Jiuyu Mountain, one who has seen his true self, he might actually believe she is oblivious to him!
Ye Qianming remained composed, but his voice carried an icy edge: “Of course, I know. The entire Black Domain is currently searching for you, Evil Doctor Ghost Eyes.”
“Cough cough…”
Startled by his words, Luo Qingtong suddenly choked on the wine in her mouth.
No way, the whole Black Domain is searching for her whereabouts?
Doesn’t that mean this man is looking for her everywhere?
A sense of foreboding washed over Luo Qingtong.
Why is he searching for her everywhere?
Hasn’t he dismissed his suspicions of her?!
Could it be that she slipped up while stealing medicine from the City Lord Mansion?
Luo Qingtong felt a wave of guilt washing over her.
Looking at the man’s overwhelmingly handsome face, she suddenly felt as if she had dug a hole and buried herself in it.
Could it be that she had done something foolish and delivered herself right to his doorstep?!
“Ha, ha… Oh, is that so? I… really had no idea…” Luo Qingtong’s face stiffened with a forced smile.
She quickly changed the subject, “What brings Brother Ye to the Tianyu Empire?”
However, the next second, Ye Qianming’s response made her wish she could take her words back!
